Keeling Schedule

Read a random definition: rationabili parte bonorum

A quick definition of Keeling Schedule:

Keeling Schedule: A Keeling Schedule is a tool used in English law to show how an existing law will look if a proposed change is made. It is usually added as an appendix to the proposed amendment. The schedule is named after E.H. Keeling, a member of Parliament who suggested its use in 1938 to avoid amending legislation by reference. However, it is not commonly used today.

A more thorough explanation:

A Keeling Schedule is a tool used in English law to show how an existing statute will look like if a proposed amendment is adopted. It is usually included as an appendix to the proposed amendment.

The schedule is named after E.H. Keeling, a member of Parliament who introduced the use of schedules in 1938 as a way to avoid amending legislation by reference. However, it is rarely used today.

Suppose there is an existing law that states "All dogs must be on a leash when in public places." A proposed amendment suggests changing the word "leash" to "harness."

A Keeling Schedule would show the revised version of the law as follows:

"All dogs must be on a harness when in public places."

The Keeling Schedule helps lawmakers and legal professionals to understand the impact of proposed amendments on existing laws.

I know UTK is open at some point as I am suppose to have my decision by the 31st, just hoping sooner then later but not seeing anyone anywhere saying they are getting a call from them so I am guessing it isn't today.
